- John TCashel, Ireland97 contributionsAbsolutely brilliant place to visit for anyone. All the animals are so used to people and really friendly. When getting your ticket to enter the farm you receive a little bag of feed for the animals. A lot of the animals will come up to you and eat it out of your hand. We had our 2 year old with us. He had no bother letting the animals eat out of his hand and petting the animals. He biggest hassle we had was trying to get our son to leave.Written 15 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Margaret G6 contributionsFavourites were the slides and the obstacles, kids really loved them. Bring socks with grips. Great fun and well run. Showering and changing facilities could be better and family changing rooms an option?? Overall we would 100% return.Written 21 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Karen MDistrict of Columbia226 contributionsThe interior of this church is very beautiful. It is worth visiting to see the columns, if nothing else. They are made of a gorgeuos green stone called Connemara marble, from an area northeast of Athlone. It's a real showcase for this unique geological material.Written 5 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Subhasree RDublin, Ireland10 contributionsA lovely walk that has a combination of river, canal and meadow walks.
An easy walking path that is 99% flat.
some of the areas of the walk were closed and no proper signage was put in place to know it. So bear in mind you might end up walking back in the same path rather than finishing the loop.Written 13 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Everything cooked to perfection. Recently in McNeen House, Blacklion, Cavan. Better fry, grill here than in Cavan. I'll be back!Written 8 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TrailBlazer73321730 contributionsReally enjoyed this bar/restaurant. We only stopped for a drink and nibbles. The waitress was so lovely and friendly and even though she was run off her feet she always had a smile on her face and ran around helping everyone. We had wings and chips and they were tasty. The variety of beers is impressive. Would recommend a visit.Written 4 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shelley W35 contributionsSean's Bar has a lively, friendly vibe in a rustic environment that's full of charm. Sean himself poured our pints and we got a cozy booth table to enjoy them. There's lots to look at on the walls for anyone interested in history, and some cool merch to bring home (even if your name isn't Sean).Written 22 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jacqueline RCork, Cork, Ireland598 contributionsThe gallery is located on the river and the light pouring in through the glass lined corridor is stunning in itself.
The gallery features different local artists and is well worth a visit. Some beautiful thought provoking pieces on display.
Their is currently no admission charge.Written 6 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shelly1jo1 contributionThe karting was really fun. I kept crashing into everything, obviously my own fault but the staff were all super helpful and helped me out straight away. It's definitely worth the money.Written 9 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
